Business Objects Crystal Reports XI Support termination information require

Hi All,
     A quick quesiton. I get to hear rumors like SAP is going to end the support for CR XI. How true is it?

     Thanks in advance!

BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports-based out of Function module

We are right now creating BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports. Our client requirement is to create this report based out of u201CFunction moduleu201D.
With the current parameters settings at the Crystal Reports designer we are able to create the report based on View and Linking various table. The reports get executed and fetch data. But when we create a report based out of FM, the report returns nothing. The screen stays in u201CNot responding stageu201D and terminates after without any message/pop-up.
Can anyone please help us resolving this? Are there any parameters/settings to be done which we are missing?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi Pallavi,
Not much info to go on. What version of Cr are you using?
What database and version are you using?
How are you connecting to the database, ODBC, OLE DB or native driver?
Have you turned tracing on the server to what SQL is being passed from CR?
Have you copied the SQL from Show SQL in the Designer and paste that into a DB SQL test tool to verify you should be getting data back and that you are not returning so much data it's going to take a week to get?
Not responding simply means CR is waiting for data, try being patient and see if you ever get data or add a Record Selection formula so you only get a few rows of data.
Try reporting off of a single table itself to verify it works and you have permission to run the SQL.
Thank you

Runtime error! Program: c:\program files\business objects\crystal reports 11.5\crw32.exe

When a crystal report output of 518 pages (containing CROSS-TABS), exporting to EXCEL, it is running upto 96 - 98 % and getting the above error and the following message :
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Hello Manindra,
please add some more information.
Do you get this error only when exporting ?
Only to Excel ?
Printing and exporting to e.g. PDF works fine ?
Thanks for some more details

Business Objects Crystal Reports with Clarity - anyone on here use is?

Hi all,
we are in the process of upgrading our Clarity system to version 8.1.1 - which has gone away from Actuate to support Crystal Reports instead.
Is anyone here using Crystal Reports with Actuate already?
I was looking into upgrading from CR XI to CR 2008 - but wondered if the extra functionality is worth the upgrade cost.
They say that users can interact with the data by sorting/filtering and re-formatting without re-querying the database - and there is a parameter panel that allows new parameters to be added to the 'saved' data..
i was wondering if those features are available when it is used with Clarity..
thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi Matthew,
I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum:
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Crystal Reports Design queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

Converting crystal reports 10 to Business Objects XI reports

Hi All I am very new to Business Objects XI R2, I have two doubts if any one knows please give reply to me so that it will be helpful for me.First is :Now I am working for a project called Converting Reports which was created by Crystal Reports 10 TO Business Objects XI reports.Is there any specific way for converting .rpt(Crystal Reports) to .rep (Business Objects) or I have to recreate in Business Objects XI. and Second is: Is it possible, Scheduling BO XI report in java based interface, I heard that it is possible but I don't know how?Please give me, How it is possible? Waiting for replyThanks in Advance 

you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.

Tim

Reporting tools for the Business user - Crystal reports or BEx tools ?

Hi,
We have recently implemented BI/BO infrastructure. Scope of the inital implementation was an executive dashboard based off COPA data. We have used Xelcisus for dashboard and BEx tools for query design etc.
We would like to set up some of our key business users (analysts in respective functions) to be able to write their own queries off this COPA cube. The discussion point is whether to roll out Crystal reports for business users or have them trained on BEx tools i.e BEx query designer/analyzer.
Any inputs to my question "Crystal Reports or BEx tools for the Business users - pros and cons", is appreciated.
Thanks,
Girish

Our user currently do not have anything. It's fresh implementation. We would like to get the business users involved. The question is - what's the best start for a business user - Crystal Reports or Bex ?

Hi,
As you must have guessed, Crystal reports 9 is not compatible / tested / supported with .NET 2.0.
Take a look at below wiki.

Business Objects XI report timeout

Hi All,
I'm running a quite simple environment:
Windows 2003 R2 SP2
IIS 6
Oracle Database (remote on Linux but same subnet)
Business Objects Server XI R1 SP3.
I'm having an issue with reports getting time out errors after 2 minutes before they have had a chance to complete.
What I want to do is increase the setting that lets the report run before it errors. I can monitor my database and still see SQL being passed when the 2 minute limit is reached.
I have changed the 'Default Website Properties' Connection Timeout setting in IIS to 500 seconds and restarted, this has not helped the problem. I have looked through all the settings under Servers in the CMC, I can't see the right one. I'm not asking for the connecting setting before I need to log back in, I need the setting that will let a report run for 10 minutes before it errors.
If I run a problem report via Schedule, it completes but is very close to 2 minutes. If I run it On Demand, it times out after 2 minutes, but I can still see the query selecting data then gets terminated.
Thanks in advance, Jason.

I had the same problem on a 12 mo cost report that produced 95,000 records and read close to 400,000. Could only run 4 months.
Changed the "Database Records Read When Previewing or Refreshing" parameter to 0 (unlimited) in CrystalReportsProcessingServer
and changed the "Maximum Cache Size (KB)" parameter in CrystalReportsCacheServer from 250,000 to 500,000 - then it would run.
Sorry, wrong thread I think - I was getting "max processing time or max records limit reached" error message but I think my problem was max records rather than timeouts.

Crystal report 10 support thai character?it doesn't work in crystal veiwer

Hi,
we have product with which package crystal report runtime libarary. when are trying to open the crystal report from our product. it displays the crystal viewer as report. we are specifically looking for thai support.when run the report from our product it shows corrupt data. but from crystal design it show correct. what would be the problem? also we have web product, same report opened on web(it has an address of web server where crystal report server is installed) it works fine for thai data.
Does anyone as any idea?

Hello,
WEB server is likely missing or does not have access to the Thai fonts. Open Control, Regional and Language Settings, Language tab and check on both options if not already done so. Then click on the Advanced Tab and check on the option for Default user account settings to enable anyone or any app to have access to the Thai fonts sets.
Also confirm you are using and distributing the MLB version, includes all the language resource dll's for CR. Which ever fonts you designed the reports with also needs to be installed on the WEB server.
Thank you
Don

Crystal reports asking for login information at runtime

BH
Hi,
I've installed the Crystal Reports for VS2010 (filename: CRforVS_13_0_9). I've created a new "Crytal Reports Application" Project and I've added dataset which is connected to Access 2010 database. When I create a new report I use the "Project Data > Ado.Net Datasets > CrystalReportsApplication8 > Ledger" as my connection. I connect the report to the CrystalReportViewer in Form1.
However, when I run the application, I get prompted for a Username and Password. Even though I type in the correct user name and password, it does not let me login and view the report. I've been struggling for a few days with this. What am I doing wrong? I do not want the application to prompt for a username and password, because I've already entered the credentials in the application. I've searched on the web for a solution, but with no success. Please help. I'm using C#.
Thanks
Aron

Hi Rahul,
You have posted your query in a wrong forum, but still this is the solution:
You can use macro SWC_CALL_METHOD from include <CNTN01> or directly a FM called SWO_INVOKE.

Why Crystal Report save development environment information

One report, version 11, includes two sub report. Preview is ok in development, called by program is ok too, even change several SQL Server and DB. But after deploy to production, it raise error "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code:911]". And after preview production data in Crystal Report designer, and save report template file (Not include data). Called by program to connect production, it is ok. But called by program connect to back development DB, it raise same error. Seems report template file saved development information, and reject program passed DB information.
Thanks very much for your suggestion.

It sounds like you haven't added any code to change databases at runtime. I suspect the code you thought you were running successfully in dev didn't work to switch DBs. It probably continued to connect to the dev DB.
Saving the original DB info is done by default for a Crystal Report .rpt file. Search the forum and read the developer SDK guide on how to change databases at runtime.

Upgrading Business Objects Planning & Reporting 11.10.1325.0

On another note, we currently running Planning 11.10 on a Sql server 2000 sp4 back-end. Does anybody know if it's ok to simply upgrade this to Sql Server 2005 with out any changes? Any documentation, notes, etc are greatly appreciated also. Thanks!

Onedrive for business this library is not supported because it requires checkout

So installed a fresh install of Office 2013 from click to run on O365 this morning. Windows 7 Machine.
Tried to sync a library from SharePoint online using Onedrive for Business and got this error.
"this library is not supported because it requires checkout"
A number of users are already syncing this library with Office 2013 Onedrive for Business with out issue.
Any ideas anybody?

Having the exact same issue.
All of my clients are using OneDrive for business (desktop App on Windows 8.1) to sync site document stores. This has been working fine for a month (new system) without issue, until...
Thanks to some licencing fun, I've ended up uninstalling a few of my clients Office products, and re-installing them with a different Office 2013 package. As part of this process I had to use the following guide to install OneDrive manually, as the
Office Pro 2013 installer included the older SkyDrive.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2903984?wa=wsignin1.0
All of the users I have had to perform this "downgrade" on can no longer sync a document store with a check out requirement set. As soon as I disable the requirement on the site's document store, the user can sync the document store without
issue. I can straight away re-enable the check out requirement, and the user will continue to receive changes, and sync changes they make (going through the Office check out/check in process)
All of the users still on the original office package installation have no problems if the requirement is set or not.
I have noticed a versioning difference between the two installations...
One of my original installations with OneDrive working 100%, sits at version "17.0.4023.1211"
The new installations using the guide above, install OneDrive straight to version "17.3.1171.0714"
Is this a Microsoft "Feature upgrade" to wave off some sync issues (I never had any)???
